Thu, 21 Jun 2012 23:10:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=70295#comment-1886465I actually got a text message from VZW on June 15th which stated:

Your phone will soon be upgraded to Android 4.0. At that time we will remove your Verizon Wireless Mobile IM app because it is not supported on Android 4.0. Please download a new instant messaging app to use IM on your phone.

I have been checking for software updates and nothing yet! What a tease.

i have pondered the D4, i have had the D1 and currently the D2G. i am considering going w/o a keyboard with the MAXX, we will see.
my guess is that they will still have it locked, but there is always hope.

Tue, 22 May 2012 14:13:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=70295#comment-1720931Sadly, you can buy SIM unlocked devices everywhere around Europe and most of Asia. And carriers here are not really allowed to lock devices.

Even more sadly, I use a SIM unlocked D2G which I got from eBay, and if we’re lucky and DROID4 has the same radio firmware as the Bionic, it will be unlocked.

The Bionic already runs of GSM (if you’re on a custom ROM) and doesn’t have a SIM lock. DROID4 also can be hacked, and people got it to register on GSM, but voice quality is horrible.

With Verizon it’s impossible to tell whether it will be locked or not, yet still there’s some hope.

Tue, 22 May 2012 14:09:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=70295#comment-1720929sadly i don’t know of any carrier that will sell you a sim unlocked device. that would defeat their business model.
only thing i can think of is taking it to a cell shop or buy an unlocked one.

I’m not. And there are no other good QWERTY sliders that work with GSM.

Tue, 22 May 2012 07:21:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=70295#comment-1720887…provided they don’t SIM lock the device like they did with the D2G.

Tue, 22 May 2012 06:38:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=70295#comment-1720171I have a gnex and love ics, but this is ridiculous that no other phone on verizon has ICS yet and its like Verizon is just stalling on updates to every phone now that’s suppose to get 4.0 or is needing updates for it. Verizon needs to get their sh@t together is the update department, this would be sad if it wasn’t soo pathetic.
